Under the weather

I've been feeling a little off all week. I'm not sick... just really, really tired. No energy at all. I was planning to go to the beach yesterday and today, but I wound up not even feeling well enough to take the trash outside.

I did end up finishing my part of a long-term project earlier this week, so that made me feel good.
